Today, the Butterflies and Ladybugs took a field trip to Daniel's Music Foundation. It was a complimentary trip sponsored by The Scott Hazelton Foundation (See below). We danced, played drums, guitar, piano, conducted, and some of us even sang on the microphone. It's a great neighborhood resource (15 minute bus ride away for us) if you are ever looking for some indoor fun on the weekends or for a place to have a birthday party.
About Scott Hazelcorn Children’s Foundation: The Scott Hazelcorn Children’s Foundation has generously provided a grant to Daniel’s Music Foundation to support one complimentary field trip to 28 different special education schools in NYC serving children with developmental and physical disabilities. The Foundation was created in memory of Scott Hazelcorn, who was tragically killed in the events of 9/11. His unique spirit for life and laughter was infectious, and touched everyone with whom he came in contact. Scott had a special love for children and talked about ultimately living a life where he could help to both educate and bring joy into their lives. The Foundation is dedicated to sponsoring programs that benefit all children in need and his legacy lives on in the joy he continues to bring to children, through the Foundation that now bears his name. Daniel’s Music Foundation (DMF) is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 that provides music programs for individuals with developmental and physical disabilities ages 3 to adult in the NYC area. Our mission is to provide a comfortable, educational and social environment in which our members can enjoy, learn, and practice the joy of music together. But we are much more than that - we are a community that opens doors to acceptance, respect, confidence, well-being and joy. Our new, state-of-the-art music center in East Harlem is where we call home, allowing us to serve more people and change even more lives through music. Exciting Features:
Most importantly, at DMF we use the transformative power of music as the instrument to unite individuals with disabilities, regardless of their challenges - by doing so we have created a community like no other.
